Keep up with blogs and websites using Google Reader

Google Reader can help you stay informed by collecting and organizing information from your favorite websites using RSS feeds. If you subscribe to a site's RSS feed, each time someone posts a new article or blog entry to that feed, you will automatically receive that update to your Google Reader inbox. Instead of having to go surfing for news, news comes directly to you.

Google Reader also recommends websites based on your subscriptions, allowing you to identify new potential sources of information.
